2018 World Cup Bid

[Englishman2010]

It will be interesting to see where the stadiums are and if England get shoved out in deepest Siberia. Surely no one ever really thought England would get it? It was always about FIFA trying to open up new markets...and of course the odd oligarch lining a few pockets on the way.

Qatar will be an interesting one, the middle eastern states have certainly proved they can put on the F1 in style, I'm sure they will build fantastic facilities. The only problem there might be the heat?

Qatar hosting a world cup? now i thought the world cup was about leaving behind a legacy for the game and it building from there. So in qatar they build a load of new stadiums, once the world cup is over they take them down and send them to poorer countries? now i wonder how many of the voting panel will have secured a new stadium for their country instead of a cash bribe?

I dont really resent russia winning their bid. but qatar?
